Class Recap Section 1 ( Ruchi and Rukmani)

Hari Om Parents,

We had yet another fun filled and exciting class today. In the beginning we shared what we did this weekend or what we were planning to do the rest of the day. We recited our prayers. One of the prayer that we recite is the evening prayer. Before reciting this we discussed the importance of light and that we should be thankful for light. We agreed how difficult it was when many of us lost power during the recent super storm. And we should be thankful for what we have.

The story time was all about "Sravana". The striking virtue of Sravana is his devotion towards his parents.We also learned that though unknowingly King Dashratah killed Sravana, he got the result of his action.

We did a lot of discussion during our story time. It is really nice to hear feedback from kids. Please talk to your children about the class. This helps them retain the story and what we learned in the class.

We also did some exercises as we did not want to sit for the entire class. We colored our books. The class came to an end after we sang our favorite bhajan. Next weekend we will be closed for "Thanksgiving". Enjoy the long weekend and the class will resume on 2nd of December. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Class Recap for Section 1


Hari Om Parents and Guardians,

A warm welcome back to all our students. We did not have class last week because of "Hurricane Sandy" but now we are back with full enthusiasm and energy.

Today's highlight was starting the practice of "Bhagwata Geeta" chapter 13. We did first shloka and we have given the handouts. If you have not received the handout, let us know and we will give it to you. Please practice at home. We will post more details of "Geeta Chanting Competition" later in coming months.

The story time covered the excitement of Sri Rama's coronation preparation and the poisonous seeds sown by Manthara. The contrast of happiness and sorrow in Ayodhya. The poise with which Rama faced the situation. We also played a game where kids were given different scenarios and were asked what will they do if they acted like Kaikayi and what will their decision be when they acted like Rama. There was a very interesting discussion. At the end of the game we all repeated together " I, Me, Mine is Kaikayi" and " We, Us, All is Rama"

We did the coloring and sang our Bhajan. The class ended with aarti and Pledge. We look forward to our next class. Have a good week.
